Still waiting on my service manual in the mail.  Downloaded a version online, but the electrical diagrams in the charging system aren't giving me a good enough idea of what is what.  Might be numb-skulled, but is this green wire supposed to be grounded to something?  What is this little module?  Trying to track down why my battery wont charge when the bike is running.  I have also read mixed things concerning this.  1979 CB750, should the bike continue to run once the battery is unplugged or not?  Mine does not, and I will do my best to trace and test backwards from the AC generator to find out why the battery isnt charging.  In the meantime, can you tell me what this thing is and if this wire should be connected somewhere (ie grounded)?
Thanks
